The purpose of this study was to verify whether pre-treatment digital setups can accurately predict the tooth positions after presurgical orthodontic treatment has been performed in a 3-dimensional way. Twenty-six patients who underwent a combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment were included. Pre-treatment digital dental models were merged with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. One operator fabricated virtual setups to simulate the tooth movements of the presurgical orthodontic treatment. Prior to surgery, digital dental models were merged with the CBCT scans. Differences between de virtual setups and the presurgical dental models were calculated using linear mixed model analyses. Differences in tooth displacements exceeding the boundaries of clinical acceptance (>2 degrees for rotations and >0.6 mm for translations) were found in 75% of the rotational and 52% of translational mean differences in the maxilla and in 74% of the rotational mean differences and 44% of the translational mean differences in the mandible. Significant differences were found for all tooth types and in all tooth displacement directions with significant effects of extractions and surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME) procedures. The accuracy of the digital setup is still too limited to correctly simulate the presurgical orthodontic treatment.
